Hey everyone. I’m just finishing junior year, and I was wondering what you thought my chances are of being accepted into MIT or Georgia Tech. Here it goes.
I have a 3.69 unweighted gpa, and about a 4.2 weighted gpa (out of 5). My grades have improved steadily over the course of high school - freshmen year I had around a 3.41 gpa, sophomore year a 3.67 gpa, and junior year a 4.0 gpa. Additionally, my math and science grades have improved. Freshmen year I got a B in math (honors), a B in biology (honors), and a B+ in physical science (honors). Sophomore year I got a B+ in math (honors), a B+ in chemistry (honors), and an A in my other science class. Junior year I got an A in AP computer science, AP chemistry, Honors physics, and a fourth science class (a very creative science class that is extremely difficult to explain).
Additionally, by the time I graduate, I will have taken 5 AP classes, and I got a 34 on the ACT.
Lastly, my extra curricular’s are kind of interesting. I worked in a science lab last summer, with only a professor and a few grad students, doing original research. In the end, I got my name published as a co-author on the scientific paper. I will be doing the followup research this summer. By the time I graduate high school, I will have my name as a co-author in 6 scientific papers.
In addition to my lab work, I also am a nationally rated/ranked fencer. I am one of the top rated fencers in my age group, and I am the highest rating possible.
Finally, I play the cello, I am an Eagle Scout, and I started my own club. Thank you so much for reading, and any criticism would be extremely helpful. Thanks a lot!
